RNC Spends BIG Money for Gov Palins clothes....
 

This is awesome. However all the money was taken from donated funds. She must have gotten a crazy wardrobe. I know very little about womens clothing. But you ladies might appreciate the same given to fill you closets. Take a look.

"The Republican National Committee spent about $150,000 on clothing, hair styling, makeup and other "campaign accessories" in September for the McCain campaign after Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin joined the ticket as his running mate."

Here is the source article:

At least the money being spent here will in turn help others.

All the $$$$'s spent on negative ads only promotes lies and influence - maybe.

Re: RNC Spends BIG Money for Gov Palins clothes...
 

It sounds as if Governor Palin is blessed. ;)

Re: RNC Spends BIG Money for Gov Palins clothes...
 

Blessed for sure, but that article does talk about the clothing and such going to a "charitable purpose". That charitable purpose could be the governors closet after the election if it is won by the GOP. I think that it is a neat story though that is a ton of money for clothing, accessories and make up.

Good thing is was from donated funds, which can be used for this purpose, and not money from our paid taxes.

Re: RNC Spends BIG Money for Gov Palins clothes...
 

Middle class republican who live from pay check to pay check donate $10 to $50 to the RNC have their hard earned money spent at the most expensive stores (where the elite shop) all the while they shop at Target and Wal-Mart. This hockey mom is to good to shop where all the other hockey moms shop.

Re: RNC Spends BIG Money for Gov Palins clothes...
 

Does that include the rental for the Privost bus used to carry her and her family when necessary?

Re: RNC Spends BIG Money for Gov Palins clothes...
 

I think it is extremely sexist to even discuss what she is or is not wearing.

its stupid.

Re: RNC Spends BIG Money for Gov Palins clothes...
 

Good point, Ferd. How about a detailed list of what Obama has spent on suits, shirts, ties & shoes for this campaign?

Re: RNC Spends BIG Money for Gov Palins clothes...
 

Who released this info? Are they trying to tie this in with their investigation of her charges as Governor? It seems like this is really starting to get ugly and petty across the board. I'm not sure who is actually pushing it, but they are investigating things that she billed the state of Alaska for in regards to her family and travel as well. They are alleging that she went backed and changed the language of some of the charges after they began to look into it.
There are so many serious issues that we need to be discussing, and I hate to see when the superfluous becomes the focal point.

Re: RNC Spends BIG Money for Gov Palins clothes...
 

Good grief, Maybe Cindy McCain loaned her the money.........:D

Re: RNC Spends BIG Money for Gov Palins clothes...
 

I posted it cause I thought it was funny/neat. Didn't think I would ruffle Ferdinands feathers/fur. The reason I think it is funny is cause at this time in the election process that this info would be released to the public. It is not a big matter really but anything that can leveraged will be leveraged by the Donkey's and the Elephants. All this when there are more important matters out there.

Re: RNC Spends BIG Money for Gov Palins clothes...
 

Let's discuss $800,000 from BO to ACORN. I think there is more to be revealed here than Palin's wardrobe.

The hypocrisy of the media to focus on this non-issue is pathetic. If she wasn't dressing in fine duds, the New York snobs in the media would be picking her apart for her dour wardrobe.

Face it, no matter what Sarah does, the elitists are going to criticize because the bottom line is they have no objectivity with Sarah P. because she is a threat.

They act just like the rich, snobby and arrogant country club kids we went to school with. If you aren't a part of their clique you don't deserve what they feel entitled to.

Re: RNC Spends BIG Money for Gov Palins clothes...
 

Talk about a shopping spree. I bet all kinds of ladies will be running for Pres or Vice next time around! :ursofunny

Re: RNC Spends BIG Money for Gov Palins clothes...
 

It amazes me how republican are in a protection mode for Sara. The woman who thinks the VP runs the senate, who thinks the VP can make changes in the senate.:crazy
Her negatives are growing higher each day.

What a hypocrite the McCain camp is showing Sara shopping in Wal-Mart trying to portray her as ordinary folk all the while spending $150,000.00 of donated money on clothing at the most elites stores in the country.What a joke.:ursofunny

Re: RNC Spends BIG Money for Gov Palins clothes...
 

Bro. Light, why are you so bitter? I think you need to get under the spout where the Glory comes out. It is very obvious that the Democrats are afraid of Gov. Palin. My wife had lunch with one of her black friends yesterday. The lady spent lunch time running down Sarah. She said Sarah was immoral and shoud be home taking care of her kids, never mind that the lady worked and had six kids of her own at home. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. I may send her another $150,000 to buy more clothes as long as she returns them to me to put on eBAY to double my money.

I'm thankful we have Gov. Palin running, not onl is she a capabe woman but she has an experience with God.

Re: RNC Spends BIG Money for Gov Palins clothes...
 

"Protection mode" is the result of the daily harping, petty nit picking, and down right mean spiritedness of the media and the Obamaniacs when it comes to SP.

If she would've said what Biden said about an international incident in the first six months of a BO presidency, the press would be feeding on that for weeks. Her negatives growing are the result of the "if you say it enough times, it must be true" phenomena. The elitist media are masters at this. They have a strong bias against Sarah P b/c she is not one of them. The true hypocrisy lies with the journalists who will do hit jobs on Palin but wont give equal time to Obama/Biden.

Biden made a statement about a restaurant in his neighborhood hat he goes to and gets a feel for what mainstream Americans think durinf his debate w Palin. Turns out that restaurant closed back in the 80s and no longer exists. Had Palin said that, there would've been live reports from the site of the empty building for days and poll questions like "Does Sarah Palin tell the truth?"

If shopping at Macy's and spending 150K is the worst the Mac campaign can do, I'll take that over 800K to ACORN. The hypocrisy lies with your dismissive attitude with the glaring and troubling issues with Obama, all the while being very petty and shallow in your criticisms of Sarah.

Re: RNC Spends BIG Money for Gov Palins clothes...
 

deacon I and others that will not vote for McCain have condemned the things that democrats do but republicans refuse to admit any of the huge mistakes made by republicans. It is sad that you think the republicans are above the frey in this economic scandal.

Republicans are as guilty as democrats. Republicans are guilty of trying to suppress the vote but FOX News never say any thing about that. Fox News makes no bones about it, they are for the Republicans. Instead of admitting the truth they say as you did look at this and this and this, always changing the subject.

CNN,MSNBC as well as Fox have run Bidens speech over and over and over. Your saying they haven't is not true. The press is all over it. The local news paper a democratic leaning paper has run the story.
Just because the republican talking heads say the press is not covering it doesn't make it true.

Joe Bidon let's his mouth run to much sometimes and every news agency in the US has reported that.

This is the first I have heard of the restaurant. I will admit it is a lie, if it is true that it was out of business. Do you have a link for this?

Why can't republicans admit they have a dunce as VP. John McCain is at fault for his pick as VP. The first thing he did was hide her from reporters, Huge mistake! You have to admit this caused reporters to dig for every thing bad or good. In her interviews republicans accuse the interviewer, claiming they set a trap for her. They didn't need to set a trap. Sara caused all the flack as she blundered and blundered in answering the simplest of questions.

Re: RNC Spends BIG Money for Gov Palins clothes...
 

LOL - anything for new clothes.

Re: Did Sarah Palin Misuse State Funds ?
 

I don't know about that, I do know she has expensive tastes in clothes!!!

$150,000 in clothes at Neiman Marcus!!!!!!

That is the sum being bandied about that the Republican party paid for a recent jaunt in NY!

I would buy a house with that!!!!

Re: Did Sarah Palin Misuse State Funds ?
 

You better watch it - PO will run you off here!

She might not be the one with the expensive taste......the RNC purchased the clothes for her with fashion assistants, etc. Also, that total amount was two different shopping trips - the other being in St. Louis.

She is also not keeping those clothes - they will be given to charities.

Re: Did Sarah Palin Misuse State Funds ?
 

I thought it was shoes with PO!:whistle

Right, it was the RNC that paid for them-but still!

That is a lot of cash for clothes!!!

Re: RNC Spends BIG Money for Gov Palins clothes...
 

what a bunch of hooey, who cares, has anybody asked obama who is payin for his ties and shirts, and suits, good grief, these people are not only petty, they are stupid, lol

Re: RNC Spends BIG Money for Gov Palins clothes...
 

still begs the question, who cares, still stupid and still petty, lol

Re: RNC Spends BIG Money for Gov Palins clothes...
 

sexist and ridiculous, but so goes stupid libs, lol:bigbaby

Re: RNC Spends BIG Money for Gov Palins clothes...
 

waa, waa, if you werent whining, you wouldnt care, if you want to vote for obama do it, but dont pick on a decent christian woman runnin on the other ticket, unbelievable,dt

Re: RNC Spends BIG Money for Gov Palins clothes...
 

Dear World,

Sarah Palin is evil. She wears expenisve dresses. Turn your head while Barak Obama gushes praise for a Jew hater named Rasheed Khalidi and focus on the pretty baubles around the evil Palin's neck.

Sincerly

The robber of Liberty.

Re: RNC Spends BIG Money for Gov Palins clothes...
 

sounds like they are trying your patience with ignorance ferd, i understand bro, dt

Re: RNC Spends BIG Money for Gov Palins clothes...
 

Mike is voting for Frank Burns or somebody like that, he's "not an Obama supporter" ;)

Re: RNC Spends BIG Money for Gov Palins clothes...
 

Having a problem with Palin doesn't mean you are an Obama supporter!

I have talked to a number of Americans who wish there was a viable third option!

Too bad.

Come next month no matter what the outcome half of America will be saddened while the other half will be disillusioned-no matter the party being voted for.

Re: RNC Spends BIG Money for Gov Palins clothes...
 

Not a more perfect depiction of the duplicity of the Obama defenders/Palin haters.

Re: RNC Spends BIG Money for Gov Palins clothes...
 

Not to be mischaracterized or lied about, I'm voting for Bob Barr because Obama is entirely too liberal for my beliefs and I can't in good conscience vote for another President who has misguided opinions and beliefs on Iraq and agreed with GWB 90% of the time. Just for clarity's sake. ;)

Re: RNC Spends BIG Money for Gov Palins clothes...
 

i didnt say mike was voting for obama, if he wants to waste his vote then fine, one less for the so called messiah, what a joke, dt

Re: RNC Spends BIG Money for Gov Palins clothes...
 

aint it funny. Sarah Palin hasnt attempted to rob Americans of Liberty by stealing their right to a secret ballot, that would be Barak Obama.

Sarah Palin hasnt supported legislation that infrenges Americans right to free speech, that would be Barak Obama, but what we all must be hightly concerned with is what Sarah Palin is wearing.

there is no difference between sexism and racism.

Re: RNC Spends BIG Money for Gov Palins clothes...
 

unfortunate truth, what a shame and the obama lovers just keep on, lol

Re: Did Sarah Palin Misuse State Funds ?
 

Oh my goodness! You are at it again!!! :smack

$150,000 is "nada" in the fashion world. There is a tremendous difference in quality clothing, let me tell you, Buddy! LOL!

What about Diane Sawyer and Katie Couric's wardrobe? Do we get to talk about that? What about that string of pearls that Nancy Pelosi wears around her neck - and not tight enough, IMHO! Hehehe!

What about all the jobs, down the ladder, that are making money from these purchases? American Capitalism at work! :thumbsup

I'd rather Palin dress really nice to represent America and the White House than that black and white "sundress" Michelle wore on the View!

Okay, off my soap box.

Re: RNC Spends BIG Money for Gov Palins clothes...
 

Mike, relax, no one is lying about you. I honestly couldn't remember who were voting for. Bob Barr? Might as well be Frank Burns, or Barney Fife, or George Kastanza. I was just trying to correct Mr. Thigh about you voting for Obama. :)

Re: RNC Spends BIG Money for Gov Palins clothes...
 

Well, I can, sort of, forgive you for voting for Barr. One of my sisters is not voting at all.

But on the Iraq issue and other military matters - Let's look at Colin Powell a little closer, shall we? :D

Re: RNC Spends BIG Money for Gov Palins clothes...
 

PO, you're my buddy and you know that. Where you and I differ, and probably always will on Iraq, is that Saddam Hussein WAS NOT "attacking this country for 10 years between 91 and 01". In fact, he was no threat to this country or any U.S. interest. Was he a pest and beligerant, and a thorn in the flesh that bore watching? Yes. Is it good that an evil man is dead? Yes. Was a full scale military invasion of that country called for? Absolutely not.

I believe that Saddam's main motive was to engage in his bravado talk which kept the Iranians guessing and thus bolstered his defenses against his neighbor.

I supported Afghanistan and still do. We should destroy al-qaeda and it's leaders and the Taliban. Anyone who attacks this country should suffer destruction at the hands of our military and we should never ask anyone from permission. Iraq, however, was NOT in that category.

Re: Did Sarah Palin Misuse State Funds ?
 

That was $150,000 for Clothes!!!!!!!!:whistle

I wonder how much was spent on shoes??????:hmmm


PO'S Back!:aaa

Re: RNC Spends BIG Money for Gov Palins clothes...
 

It's a well known fact that you're judged by your appearance and obviously Sarah Palin is in the public eye, so she has to look her best......
We know I'm cheap and would never spend that kind of money. I'm in awe at the $5000 for a new wardrobe on What Not to Wear.
But this is not an average gal just going to work or church. Her image is verrrry important.
I am glad she is representing herself and the RNC as a classy lady!
